Hello to all. I have bipolar 2, and up until 36, I went untreated. For numerous significant occasions in my life, I can not remember anything. Other than that, my mind is remarkably sharp for my age. Manic episodes may be linked to memory loss of the events but I am not sure. Has anyone faced similar difficulties?

I have memory loss from ECT. It’s bad. I’ve lost about 80-90%. I also have short term memory loss. Sometimes I’m glad I’ve lost my memory. So I don’t relive all the horrible events. I’m just doing the best I can to live a happy, peaceful life, day by day.

Hi @JennaRae

How are you doing today?

It must be difficult to lives with memory gaps, especially for significant occasions. Let me see if anyone else can relate.

@Joipayn @SarahS215 @Darylann @Nichol @Lrambo @Stormilee2019 @Mel1287 @Hjtorrey @Nikkifin719 @MikLovin1234 @Jmitchell @slime123 @Winnie23 @Gracetaisie21 @Helpsupport @SandraRoe @Blknjk23 @Jane82 @Byrdie8⁸ @Elaina @Texanbratt @Kelfar @tawnyamichelle @Gnibellen @Tambre @Nlkgsw @Engine-13 @Madcat @MerlinSage @Kcramlett1974

Have you suffered memory loss? What type of memories have been lost? Did you do anything to correct it?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
